MOST COURTEOUS THIEVES.
Charming and Considerate Behavior
of Train Robbers in Spain.
From a Madrid CorTespondent.\


I spent pleasant week in Madrid. and then
went on to Seville. The express journey was
not without its interesting features. We
stopped now and again for fifteen minutes and
half an hour. When we stopped everybody got
out of the train and went into the buffet-.pas-
sengers, guards engine drivers, porters and all
We all sat down together and ate and drank to-
gether, and then we al smoked cigarettes to-
gether round the fire. When it was time TO
start, we got up, stretched ourselves, and leiS-
urely strolled back 10 the train, the guards and
the engine-driyer and the stoker being generally
the last to turn out.
Our civil guards, of course, went with us,
their moustaches fiercely twisted and their rifles
loaded. We still want this sort of protection on
long railway journeys over lonely plains in
Spain, because the brlgands are not quite done
away with yet The way in which the robbery
is carried out is this The brigands signal to the
engine driver to stop, and he does so, being gen
orally in with the brigands. Then these gen
tlemen, called in Spanish "SalteadoIes de can't
nos;" or road jumpers, approach the carriage.
raise their hats to the passengers, and, IN the
most polite language, request them TO give up
their money and jewels. The ''guardias civlles
are stopped from firing at the robbers by the al
frighted passengers as the rascals have pre-
viously explained that if they are fired at they
will shoot at the passengers in return.
The chief of the brigandS usually addresses
the passengers.n these terms
ladies and gentlemen, please deliver up
your money and Valuables of every description.
We do not wish to put you to the lndignity OF
search, but shall rely upon your honor. But as
soon as you tell us you have given up every
thing we shall search one passenger of each
class If upon either we find a single coin or a
single valuable, we shall shoot one passenger in
each compartment. Ladies and gentlemen, do
not hurry yourselves. Our time is yours"
You can imagine that under these circum-
stances there is very little kept back. The pas
sengers beg and pray of each other to conceal
nothing. As soon as a complete surrender has
been made, the brigands raise their hats again
and bid the passengers farewell in these words,
''Vaya ustedes con Dios'-May you go with
beautiful and simple piety, land may VIC all
meet again some day in Gods big Darlor."

Justice NJ. r. Freeman, of Macon, a gen
tleman who is well known outside of the
city of his residence, has organized a society
which deserves success. 1t is not strictly q
temperance society but its tendency is in
the direction of temperance. II is an anti
treating society," Intending it t. have
growth outside of Macon, Justice freeman
has named it JOHNSON Division No. - in
honor of the late Samuel H. Jemison, of
Macon, who, before his DEATH earnestly adj
vocated the formation of such an organiza-
ton.
The plan upon which it is intended the
society shall work is simple. Each member
agrees that he will not drink with any per
son. or ask any person to drink with him,
any spirituous or malt liquors, wine or cider
in any public place or elsewhere, and he also
agrees that he will not engage in any game
of chance for liquor. The agreement is
printed upon a card and after it is signed a
duplicate of it is sent to the division to which
the member belongs.
One of the greatest evils connected with
the use of intoxicantS is the custom of treat
ing. If it were not for it there would be
much less drinking and fewer drunkards.
The truth of this is shown by the expert
ence Of most drinking men. For every dol
lar spent for liquor consumed by themselves
they spend at least s. in treating. On this
subject young man said, the other
day: "A gentleman | know spent
SIS last night buying liquors
for party of six, and yet
what he drank himself could not have cost
more than 75c" A barkeeper who heard
this statement said: Three men came into
my saloon. One of them offered hundred
| dollar bin, out of which l was told to take
pay for what the party drank. l changed
the bill, and in less than three hours | had
$26 of it in my money drawer. If it was
not for treating the saloon business would
not be a very profitable one"
Justice Freemans anti-treating society is
an aid to the cause Of temperance. If there
ever was a time when a man could make
sot of himself and, continue to be respected
it has passed. a necessary qualification for
position in society or in business is sobriety.
Young men who object to prohibition, but
who desire to have some safeguard in the
use of intoxicants, cannot do a wiser thing
| than TO join Justice Freeman'S anti-treating
| society)

DELAYED Arrests.

Some recent occurrences in this State re-
lating to the arrest of criminals, have de
veloped a curious state of affairs. 1t seems
that in some communities the officers of the
law cannot effect arrests without the in
citement of the offer of a reward by the
Governor
Some time ago the grand jury of Bib
county indicted five men for completely in
the lynching of James Moore at Macon last
August, and warrants were issued for their
arrest. Apparently the men could not be
found. On April "a the Governor offered
reward of $50 each for their apprehension.
Forty-eight hours after three Of
them were under arrest. The
dispatches in the MORNING NEWS
regarding these arrests stated that two Of
the men were followed when they attempted
to leave Macon, and that the third was
captured while ne was on his way from
his home near Macon 10 his place of bust
ness in that city. 1t seems, also, that the
third man had never made an attempt to
escape, but, although he knew a reward
had been offered for him. quietly continued
in the discharge OF his daily duties.
why was the arrest of these men so long
delayed! Itlooks as if it were done in order
that the Governor might be induced to offer
rewards for thcm. To say the least, il is
strange that the officers Of the law could not
find three men who were within easy reach.
Other cases like those at Macon might be
cited. While IL may Doe true that in all of
them the officers hive acted in good faith
toward the State, yet there is room for un-
pleasant suspicion. At any rate, an inquiry
upon the part Of the Governor into the
case nt Macon would do no haimA

There was lively row at the headquar-
ters of District Assembly 40, Knights of
Labor on Saturday between Master Work
man James L. Quinn and Foreman Camp
bell, of Hanan q Sons shoe factory, in
Centre street, New York city. Master
Workman Quinn was largely responsible
for the great strike of 'longshoremen in
New York few months ago He appears
to be a man without conscience or judg-
ment, and who is doing the Knights Of La
Dor in New York more harm than good.
The trouble between him and Foreman
Campbell grew out of the refusal of the
latter to permit the shoemakers under him
to strike when it had been decided by the
local assembly that they should do So
The reasons given by Campbell for his
course are such as ought to be satisfactory
to all reasonable men. He had made con
tract with his employers and they had lived
up to both the letter and spirit of it. Nei-
Their he nor the men under him had any
complaint to make. He did not see there
fore, how he could honorably order his men
to strike.
He had other reasons for not ordering a
strike. One of them was that the men are
poor and the majority have families depend
ing upon them. Another was that he saw
nothing to be gained 10y a strike and much
TO lose He remembered what the result of
the strike of the 'lons shoremen had been,
and he was not quite ready to see the wives
and children of the shoemakers of the shops
of which he is foreman crying for bread.
Master Workman Quinn and few other
leaders have certain things which they wish
to accomplish, and they appear TO be deter
mined to accomplish them without regard
to the injury they may do to business inter
ests or to the sufferings they may cause
workingmen. They have an easy time
living as they do off the earn
ings of those whose interests they are sup
posed to protect The arbitrary course
pursued by Quinn will, in all probability,
result in alternating from the Knights of
Labor very large faction of shoemakers
Grand Master Powderly ought to get rid of
him and men like him. They are dis
organizers and mischief makers.

The Britisher's Travelling Manners.

In the time of Richard Ceur de Leon money
coined in the eastern parts of Germany came
into special request in England on account Of
its purity, and was called fostering money, as
all the inhabitants Of those parts were called
Easterlings-from which came the term ster-
ling, as expressive of a standard purity The
historian Camden says that men were sent for
from the Easterling country. in the reign Of
King John, to instruct the English in coming
money, and he derives the word sterling directly
from this circumstance.
